If LSU wins out do they deserve to be in the playoffs?

Winning the West and getting into the SECCG is unlikely with losses to Auburn and Moo State, but if we end up winning out do you think LSU has a shot at making the playoffs? Clearly, this team is playing at a much higher level than they were in the beginning of the season but would winning out be enough to convince the playoff committee that LSU deserves to be there?

No. You can't dismiss the MSU and Auburn losses.

no

Not unless LSU wins the SEC. You can't keep out undefeated or 1 loss champs over a 2 loss team that didn't win their division.

No. This is stupid

Not really. Unless there is a massive meltdown among teams in the top ten.

We'd be a good enough team to be there but a whole lot of stuff, a whole lot of stuff that probably isn't going to happen,would have to happen before we get a spot in the top 4.
Stranger things have happened though

The whole purpose of the committee is to find the best teams by looking at the entire body of work. Right now, with 2 losses, I'll say we're out. But, I have said weeks ago that we are the best 2 loss team in the country. With a little help these last 3-4 weeks, and us winning out, we would have to be in heavy consideration for a 4 seed imo

absolutely not

No but we'll be in a good bowl game

Not if we don't win the SEC. If everything breaks right and we end up SEC champions, they can't keep us out.

No, not unless miss st and auburn both lose one more

Must win SECCG. Only route in and the odds are extremely remote.
Posted on 10/26/14 at 10:22 am to DirtyMike
Only if we somehow win the SEC. It OK though.

What if Miss State loses to Ole Miss and Alabama.
Alabama loses to LSU
Ole Miss loses to Auburn
Then all SECW teams would have 2 or more losses

The word "deserve" and the mindset of college athlete selection committees are usually mutually exclusive.
Its often better to be perceived as being worthy of inclusion than actually deserving the position.

LSU needs help. Win out and get the help necessary to win the SECCG (Bama beats State and Auburn; Auburn beats Ole Miss; Ole Miss beats State; Georgia beats Auburn).
Additionally, we need two of the following:
1. Notre Dame loss
2. Two losses by FSU or none by Duke
3. A loss by each of KSU TCU Baylor
4. A loss by each of Utah Arizona AZSt Oregon
5. A loss by each of tOSU Sparty Huskers

Probably not - unless we get a lot of help from other teams. Its possible, but there would have to be mass chaos for it to happen.

Nope..... But lets just focus on Bama for now K

well we know for a fact that they would put bama in there even if they finished second in the West. frick, they'll send them right to the title game.
considering how young the team is, a point in our favor for once that has actually gained traction nationally, losing to 2 top 5 teams early in the year and then beating 2 top 5 teams late would still be the best resume in the country.
